too many free minutes - how to use up ??

happycol

Hi there just wondering if anyone knew a way to use up loads of extra free minutes i have on my mobile contract at present i get 800 but only use 300
that essentially wastes 500 which 02 are getting away with :eek: !!

Is there a way of transferring them or anything realy just dont like waste !!

Thanks

Get a PAYG sim and put it in a spare phone. Then when you are really bored use yor contract phone to call the spare phone and answer. Then just leave it for an hour or so. Do this a few times and you will use all your 800 minute.

Phone people to tell them "I'm on the bus" that's what everyone else does. Sorry for sarcasm, why not change contract when you can.

I once saw a girl who used to live 2 doors from me (whilst returning form a 2 minute errand to a shop) phoning her mum to tell her mum (at home) that she was outside number 10 and bringing the bread and milk home. She was 10 seconds from her house.

There were numbers etc bu they only worked for a while before the mobile operators caught on and excluded the number form your inclusive minutes (eg Noodle Oodle o Orange)

Hmmm...

See, if you could ring an 0845 from your mobile using your free minutes you could set up your own number and get the charges back...

But you can't ...

Oh right think it may have been the noodle thing mentioned a few posts back - never mind at least it will give me an excuse to call everyone i know and have not called for a while -

i will use them up somehow !!#

anyway thanks for the replies first time i have posted after lurking for ages - nice one !:j

I have been known to phone my kids to tell them tea is ready, when they are upstairs in their bedrooms playing loud music! Saves yelling at them up the stairs or running up to bang on their doors.

Yes I am guilty too, I ring my kids when they are upstairs!
